I actually can't stand Joan, but that's probably because Peggy is one of my number one faves.

i do so feel for peggy.

she gets shit from everyone. she has risen above the secretaries to become a jr. copywriter (yay peggy) so now all of the secretaries hate her. now she is playing the game with the boys, and now all of the boys resent/hate her. even don gives her shit, but that's not hate, that's mentoring. i think peggy gets that, but the boys do too and they hate her even more because don won't mentor them. they don't invite her to meetings, they ask her "is this all of the glasses" and "to go find don", they say "you don't count"... it has truly got to suck being peggy trying to advance in this world. toss in becoming pregnant with a married guy you work every fucking day, with her giving up that baby, when she says she wants to have children someday...

peggy is the classic greek tragedy character. and such a character weiner can work with. i could write a series called "peggy" around this one character.

but she is just one of our ensemble.

the reason i love joan (outside of the valentine she presents as she leaves a room in a red dress) is that she has almost no power in this universe, but joan uses the little power she does possess to its maximum efficiency. i have dealt with many "joans" my entire career. and they can eat you up. but, then i have always been a sucker for a well presented valentine...


i think the biggest set up tonight was with betty. that scene with her and the tow truck guy was scary for me. she was playing a game she is curious about but one i don't think she truly understands. i fear for betty this season...
